HClO pKa = 7.497 HCl pKa = -8.000


HCl is a far stronger acid.


For future reference: type the name of the compound into wikipedia and look down the right hand side to find it's pKa value. Do the same for your second compound.
The lowest pKa is the more acidic compound.

What is the for the reaction between chlorine and water?

When chlorine reacts with water, it forms hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl). The overall reaction is: Cl2 + H2O → HCl + HOCl. Chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent and can react with water to produce these acidic species.

Is HClO a strong or weak electrolyte?

HClO is a weak electrolyte. It partially dissociates into H+ and ClO- ions in solution, meaning it has a low conductivity compared to strong electrolytes like HCl.


What species are present when HClO is introduced to water?

When HClO (hypochlorous acid) is introduced to water, it will undergo dissociation to form H3O+ (hydronium ion) and OCl− (hypochlorite ion). These species are formed due to the weak acidic properties of HClO in aqueous solution.


Is HClO a acid or a base?

Is chlorine gas an acidic or alkaline gas?

It is a neutral gas that bleaches damp litmus paper. Gases themselves are not acidic/alkaline, it is only when they are combined with hydrogen ions (Hence the damp litmus paper) that they become acidic/alkaline and in this case acidic.


Difference in the solubality of ciprofloxacin in water and 0.1N HCl solution i-e. I mean to ask that either in water or 0.1 N HCl solution the ciprofloxacin is more soluble?

Ciprofloxacin is more soluble in 0.1 N HCl solution compared to water. The solubility of ciprofloxacin increases in acidic solutions like HCl due to its acidic nature, which helps to increase its solubility in the 0.1 N HCl solution.
